Couple of Minor Issues I Have Seen

Ksyrup · 03-29-2007, 04:37 PM

1. I set up an historical league in 1982 with the draft on, set the draft date to November 15, 1982, but changed the date the draft pool was available for viewing from the 30-day default to 60 days. When I went to auto-sim, the correct date (September 16th) was there. However, when I stopped my auto-sim to check something out and went back to continue the auto-sim, the date was incorrect - it was back to the default 30 day (October 16th) date. And this wasn't just cosmetic - the draft pool was not available until October 16th.

The next year, I tested this and didn't stop the auto-sim and it correctly stopped on September 16th, and the draft pool was available for viewing.

2. When editing a major league player to make him a minor league free agent (or any league other than the league the player is currently in, I suppose, but the universe I was working with had just MLB and AAA), the player is unable to directly become a free agent of the other league without being assigned, even for a millisecond, to a team in that league. Not a huge deal, and it doesn't affect making a player a FA in the league he's in, just making him a FA in another league.

In regard to #2, does the second league not allow you to sign free agents from other leagues? Does the first league not allow free agents to leave the league? These settings are in the Rules tab of the league setup.

Also, if you only have one league (with a minor league affiliate) active in your universe, how can you determine whether or not a second league can sign him?

I think I figured out the second one, having to do with the allow FAs buttons. Thanks.
